Sunday, Day 1 Valencia

Great first day today.  Introduced ourselves at BMW Oracle HQ, have excellent VIP passes to HQ and the races.  We are going on a fast yacht out to watch race 1 presumably tomorrow.  Very, very light wind today, glassy water everywhere we could see.  Watched Alinghi head out for some practice around Noon.  Did not see USA 17 at all.  Not sure if they went out early, or not at all.  Might rain tomorrow, Wunderground says 10 kts of wind??????  Kind of cool and overcast today.  Haze on the water, in SoCal I would expect some weather coming in, but on the Med in Winter, who nose???

Huge daylight fireworks show at the Veles e Vents building this afternoon.  Watched Alinghi sail back in toward the beach in 2 kts (?) of breeeze and stop and take sails down.  Picked up some excellent and pricey BMW swag to bring home.

Have to be at BMWO at 0700 tomorrow.  Should be fabulous.  Oh, did I mention excellent Paella Mariscos with a couple of tasty beers for lunch at Malvarosa Beach!  Life is very good in Espana!
